Hi everyone,
This year seems to be speeding by and here we are looking towards the summer break.
It has been lovely to see many of you in lessons and workshops this year and I hope you will keep coming to what we have on offer as we move forwards.
There are going to be a few small changes to my regular weekly timetable from September. Here are the details of the changes I am making:
Tuesday: the Older & Stiffer class will start a little earlier, running from 12:45pm to 2pm.
Tuesday and Thursday evening classes will swap. The general class will be Tuesday 6:30pm to 8:15pm. The beginner’s class will be Thursday evening from 7pm to 8:30pm. The fees remain as £14 for a general class and £12 for a beginner’s class.
All other classes and times will remain the same as now, including pranayama which will
normally be on the second Monday each month from 8pm to 9:15pm.
Michelle and Sara continue to teach their Monday & Wednesday classes and Sara also offers a basic pranayama session once a month on a Wednesday afternoon from 11:45am to 1pm. For details visit the Timetable & Fees page of my website and to book any of their classes please contact them directly.
My autumn lessons restart from 2nd September 2025 and you will soon be able to book
those sessions through the ‘book a studio lesson’ tab on the ‘Timetable & Fees’ page.
Michelle & Sara may be teaching through August, contact them if you are interested.
My upcoming workshops are as follows:
Level 1 – Sunday 13 th July (general workshop for all except those new to yoga)
Level 2 – Saturday 26 th July (general workshop for all except beginners and it will be
very helpful for teachers and trainees who want to work on the Level 2 syllabus asanas)
Level 3 weekend – Saturday 9 th and Sunday 10 th August (for anyone who would like to challenge themselves with the more difficult and advanced yoga asanas).
Further workshop dates for your diary are available if you visit the workshop pages on my website. Scroll to the bottom of each page to see the dates. Times and costs for all workshops are shown on my website.

Note: I will be taking two weeks off in September, from Tuesday 23 rd September to Friday 3rd October, as I plan to study in Bellur, India. This is the birthplace of BKS Iyengar and he has established a very large Iyengar yoga studio there as well as building a school, a medical faculty and other facilities in the village. It is somewhere I have been meaning to visit for some time and the opportunity has come my way this autumn.

Whilst I am away Michelle’s Monday evening class and Sara’s Wednesday classes will
continue. If you would like to attend any of their sessions, please contact them for details and availability. You can find their contact information on my website on the ‘Timetable & Fees’ page or on the ‘Other Teachers’ page (under ‘About’ on the main menu bar).

With my very best wishes
I hope you have a lovely summer
